    How Do I Know I Need One? 

    When does it make sense to fly versus driving to your destination? We were discussing this around the water cooler the other day. There were three of us and each one of us had different preferences. One of us had a pretty high threshold. For him if he could get there in 8-10 hours of driving, that’s what he would default to. For me, the threshold was five hours. Driving 300 miles would take me 5 hours. Given where the Airline industry is today, and assuming that I could take an hour and a half flight, it would still take me 5 hours door to door after everything was said and done. Probability of variables like not finding a direct flight and getting caught in traffic would mutually cancel each other out. So for me the threshold is, if I have to drive for more than 5 hours, I would opt to fly.

    A lot of times we get asked by prospective customers: How do I know I need a contact center? We have a PBX system and phones and my reps use the company phone system to make and receive calls. Why do I need an automated system?

    I offer them a very simple thumb rule. If your reps are on the phone for more than 2 hours a day, you need a cloud based contact center system. 2 hours a day is 40 phone calls every day. Assuming that 80% or 32 of these calls are to and from customers, these are some of the most valuable interactions between the company and its customers or prospects. There is all kinds of Business Intelligence (BI) hidden in these interactions that I would really like to get my hands on. A traditional PBX or phone system is just not going to give you that kind of insight into how your reps and customers are interacting with each other.

    At about $150 per rep per month you get a phone system that is integrated with your CRM. Because of automation the reps can now call or service more customers making them two or three times more productive. You get a 360 degree view of all your prior interactions with a prospect or customer whether it was voice, chat or text communication. You get management, reporting, analytics and BI that you just wouldn’t get with a PBX system.

    So here’s the bottom line: If you have reps in your organization that are on the phone for more than 2 hours every day, you should really start evaluating cloud based contact center systems.

    3CLogic Announces Special Customer Relationship Management Connector Package to help with migration to Cloud Based Contact Centers 

    Four point incentive package to help enterprise contact centers improve customer interactions while moving to cloud. Seamless integration with cloud and premise based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems.

    3CLogic, the leader in cloud based contact centers hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), is proud to announce a four-point incentive program to encourage enterprise customers constrained by outdated call center technology to switch to a cloud based solution that fully integrates with their existing CRM systems. This four-point incentive promotion will be running throughout the months of February and March, ending on March 30th, 2012.

    The incentives announced under the CRM Connector Package include:

    1. Contact Center Integration with existing CRM systems: For a limited time, 3CLogic is offering qualified users of CRM systems such as Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics, and Leads360 full assistance to integrate Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) controls within their CRM user interface. Users will spend little to no time adjusting to CTI controls embedded within homegrown or standard CRM systems as they continue to use the CRM interface they are most knowledgeable and comfortable with. The goal is to increase user productivity and make their workflow more efficient while decreasing any additional training or learning time.

    2. Free CRM Integration: 3CLogic is offering new customers under this program free customization services and support for integrating their existing CRM software with 3CLogic’s Contact Center Software. This incentive will help customers migrate from outdated premised based call center technology to a cloud based contact center. Included with this offer are free customization, complete scalability and tailored flexibility to provide a comprehensive service to increase revenues and eliminate capital expenses.

    3. Discounted Training: With the CRM Connector Package, customers will receive a 50% discount on user and administrative training throughout the promotional period. These are live training sessions conducted by certified 3CLogic representatives and support staff. Additionally, customers will have free access to e-training modules.

    4. Fully Customizable Customer Information Management: The CRM Connecter Package makes administering customer information easy and effortless instead of a difficult process. With the CRM Connector Package, contact center managers will have the ability to migrate their representatives over to an easy to use interface where phone calls can be stopped, started, managed, and administered using CTI through a single window view. 3CLogic will perform all the customization required to do this.

    “Our customers have told us that Contact Center integration with CRM systems is the most critical part in providing superb customer service and conducting effective marketing campaigns.” said Ramana Reddy, Director of Client Services at 3CLogic. He continued, “This promotion now allows us to offer new 3CLogic customers an opportunity they can’t pass up – a comprehensive CRM and CTI integration package at absolutely no cost to them while they migrate to a cloud based Contact Center”.

    3CLogic provides a unique cloud based contact center platform built on its Virtual Telephony Applications Grid (V-TAG) architecture. Based on distributed computing, V-TAG achieves major performance and efficiency gains over traditional client-server approaches. Integrated with comprehensive analytics and reporting tools, 3CLogic lets contact centers analyze campaign and agent performance for greater efficiency gains and business productivity. 3CLogic delivers solutions that can seamlessly integrate with existing CRM programs, which allows customers to eliminate expensive up-front hardware and software costs and to quickly deploy and adopt on-demand software for customer interaction.
